Call for Papers: Human Security and Forced Migration: Dilemmas and Prospects
The Third World Conference on Humanitarian Studies will be organized jointly with the Third Istanbul Human Security Conference on 24-27 October 2013 at Kadir Has University, Istanbul. 'Human Security and Forced Migration: Dilemmas and Prospects' is proposed as a panel as part of this conference.
Forced migration is a concept that has many categories including refugees, asylum seekers, and internally displaced people. Security also involves different levels: traditional state-centric security understandings followed by new perceptions of transnational and human security. Thus, the two concepts can be analyzed on different levels and categories. Within this multi-level/category context, forced migration and security can also have a complex relationship where forced migration can be treated both as the source and product of security threats. While being a foremost ground for "responsibility to protect" against traditional understandings of state sovereignty, forced migration also has the potential for becoming a transnational problem as well as an example of human security concern.
Accordingly, the panel is open for papers that re/evaluate the relationship between the two concepts on different levels and categories. The aim is to bring the field of forced migration closer to security studies to extend both theoretical and practical proposals.
